We are building the foundations of a future enterprise integration platform that will improve how consumer data integrations are designed, delivered, governed and operated across a complex enterprise ecosystem.
The initiative will start with a focused design phase to define the target platform, validate key concepts and create a roadmap for implementation. Based on this roadmap, the program will move into implementation and gradually expand in scope, team size and number of workstreams.
